Adorable House

This place was so cute! Great spot to unwind at the end of the day. We walked to a couple different restaurants and bars in the area that were a little farther away and the walk was really easy.

Sweet house on Main

I just visited Brenham for a twostay at the house on East Main. You can walk to all the shops and historic Brenham. I was provided with all the information I needed for a great get away for me. It appears to be recently updated and everything went perfectly. I would recommend this for a couple or 2 friends. The bathroom and two bedrooms are separated by the bathroom. Super clean.

Swirl weekend in Brenham

Enjoyed a relaxing stay and property was perfectly spotless and welcoming. Kitchen is not a full setup if you plan to cook so check out home prior to buying groceries. Italian restaurant is a must!

Fun girl’s weekend

We rented this for a girls weekend and enjoyed it very much! It was clean and very comfortable for 4 of us. There’s not much of a view from the front porch but we were out shopping and eating most of the time. There’s a wonderful Italian restaurant across the street and it’s very close to all the downtown shops. Great rental!

Antiquing Weekend

This cottage was so charming, cozy and clean, it’s perfect set up. Perfect location for restaurants, stores and little towns all around Brenham. I want to make note if you read previous reviews about lack of coffee makers and coffee, host took care of it. They created a small coffee bar, create coffee anyway you like it, K-cups, pot of cofffee or instant.
